CVE-2021-47040 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:7 python-perf.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-perf package and not the python-perf package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring: fix overflows checks in provide buffers
Colin reported before possible overflow and sign extension problems in io_provide_buffers_prep(). As Linus pointed out previous attempt did nothing useful, see d81269fecb8ce ("io_uring: fix provide_buffers sign extension").
Do that with help of check_<op>_overflow helpers. And fix struct io_provide_buf::len type, as it doesn't make much sense to keep it signed.
